Application filed March 2B, 1368. Serial No. 423,824.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LOUIS A. SIEBERT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Columbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, and useful Improvements in Electric Air Heating and Discharging Devices', of which the following is a specification. f

My invention relates to the improvement of air heating and discharging devices and the objects of my invention are to provide a s imple and inexpensive means for heating and discharging air under pressure; to so construct my device as to render it of great utility in barber shops,

ing faces and hair of the customers and for use in applying heated air to the skin of the customer in connection'with massage treatment. These objects accomplish in the manner illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my device, Fig. 2 is an end view of the same, Fig. 3 i-s a -vertical section on line of Fig. 2, and,

Fig. 4 is a sectional view on line g/*g of.

Fig. 3. f

imilar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

1 represents the body or external casing ofiiiy device which is preferably of thecylindrical forni shown, said casing being pro-- vided with outer and inner end plates 2 and 3 which are detachably connected with' the ends of the cylindrical body 1. The rear or inner end plate 3 is formed as shownv at 4, with a projectin hollow boss, the.. central opening of wliic leads through said end p ate', said boss being adapted to receive or have suitably connected therewith, one end of an air conductor such as is indicated at 5. The front or outer plate 2 is also formed with aV projecting hollow boss'or nozzle 6, which is so located as to be out of alinement with the inlet nozzle or boss 4.

Within thel casingA formed by the cylindrical body 1 and the ends 2 and 3 and bearing against the inner wall of saidcylindrical body, is a lining of suitable non-heat conducting material 7 such as asbestos and against the inner faces of the end plates 2 and 3 are provided disks of similar nonheat conducting material 8 and 9. The disk l8 has formedtherein an opening 8iL which have invented certain new hair dressing estabfor use in dry'- tion and movement of a spring strip 14,- the screw 14a to the inner face of the end plate 3 above the boss 4 and the lower end portion of which normally closes'the inner end of the central bore of said boss.

Between the insulating disks 10 and 1l are provided at suitable intervals, wire resistance coils 15, these coils having their ends 15a passing through the insulator disks 11 and being properly connected together and with positive and negative supply wires 17 and 19 between said disks and the disks 8 and 9, as'sliown lmore clearly at 16 in Fig. 4 of the drawing. The wires'17 and 18 run from a suitable source of electric current supply and lead through openings in the cylindrical casing 1.

derstood that air under pressure from any suitable compressed airsupply is passed into and through the 'body of my device through a suitable conductor such as 5, through the hollow of the boss 4. The pressure of the incoming air'through the hollow of the boss 4 against the spring 14 forces the latter inward a sufficient distance to open the air inlet, thus permitting the air passing about the spring, through the opening 9'1 and thence through an opening 11a of the disk 11 to the interior of the casing body. From this casing body, the air passes outward "through an opening 10a-of the disk 10 which registers with the opening 8f1 of the disk 8 air which thus passes through the casing is heated' to a 4desirable extent through the presence of the resistance coils 1 5 through which a current of electricity 1s passing through the wires 17 and 18.

' As will be readily seen, the construction of my device is such as to permitjof its being readily handled by the operator for the upper end of which is secured by means of a.

vIn utilizing my invention, it Will be uni and is discharged through the nozzle 6. The

vagainst the face or hair of a customer in a barber 'shop or other similar-place and it will also be understood that while such means are not herein shown, Aany well known cutoff devices may be employed in connection with the conductor andthe electric supply wires, toreadilycut oil' when desired both the currents of air and electricity.v

. That vI claim, is:

1. In a'device of the character described, the combination with a casing adapted to be held within the hand and4 having non-alined openings in the opposite ends thereof, of flexible conducting means for conducting air to one of said openings, the other of said openings serving as a discharge opening for said air, a lining of non-heat conducting material located within said casingga spool of matcrial nonconductive, to electricity located within said lining, f heating coils located between lthe end membersof said spool, saidy end rmembers being perforated for the passage of air, and a spring valve secured to the' under face of one end of thev casing and'adapted to close the inlet opening, saidspring valve being opened by the pressure of the air. l

2. In a device of the character described,

the combination with a casing adapted to be held within the hand, and having non-alined openings in the opposite ends thereof, of

Vflexible conducting means for conducting openings inthe opposite ends thereof,-of

flexible conducting means for conducting air to one of said openings, the other of said vopenings serving as a discharge opening for said air, an electric heating coil located within said easingzand within the path of said air, a spring valve adapted to close the inlet opening, said -spring valve being dopened by the pressure of air, and a lining non-heat conductingmaterial for both the endand side walls of said casing.

In testimony whereof I aixrmy signature in presence of two Witnesses.
